Single Player Campaign Descriptions Campaign 1: Destroy the Bridge Mission 1_1 Welcome to France After parachuting in about five miles inland from Omaha Beach with the British 6th Airborne division, you set out on a top-secret mission to destroy German fortified artillery positions. In a matter of hours, Allied forces will begin the D-Day invasion. Your success or failure in knocking out these installations will have a huge impact on what happens when the troops land on the beach. Mission 1_2 The Causeway Your new mission arrives via radio transmission: destroy a key enemy-held bridge and eliminate the German colonel in charge of defending it. After recovering from the jump, you and your five-man squad, you move forward knowing that your highly dangerous mission is of vital importance. By successfully destroying the bridge, you will cripple the enemy's ability to transport heavy artillery by train to the Normandy coast. Before blowing up the bridge, you must first cross the river to locate the Nazi colonel ... and it won't be easy. Mission 1_3 The Other Side of the River After crossing the river, you and the remaining members of your squad must hunt down the evasive colonel. Searching from house to house, you won't stop until you find him and carry out one of your prime mission objectives-his assassination. You'll need to be resourceful, using German artillery and locating air- dropped supplies. And you'll also need all the firepower you can muster when facing German Tiger tanks and other heavy artillery. Ultimately, you'll need to rely on all of your training to blow the bridge before a train loaded with heavy artillery departs the station for the Normandy coast. Campaign 2: Assault in the Ardennes Mission 2_1 Into the Woods While attempting to capture a strategic town in the Ardennes, a group of U.S. soldiers has been cut off from Allied supply lines. You and your small squad have been ordered to steal a German supply truck and divert it to the isolated soldiers. Loaded with medical supplies, weapons, ammunition, and food, this truck represents the last hope for the men trapped in the snow- blanketed forest. Camouflaged enemy infantry and tank patrols will be a few of the obstacles you'll face when attempting this daring rescue operation. Mission 2_2 The Greatest Escape It wasn't easy to survive the threats in the forest, but your team finally tracked down the precious supply truck. Now things really get tricky. While another team member commandeers the truck, you jump into the back of an enemy half-track and provide escort. By blasting away at the enemy with the half-track's mounted machine-gun, you'll need to run a gauntlet of Nazi firepower before delivering the supplies to the group of cut-off U.S. soldiers. It's up to you to protect the truck at all costs. Mission 2_3 A Night in Hell After a few hours after escorting the supply truck to your fellow soldiers, you're all finally sitting around enjoying some of the hard-fought spoils of combat. In a flash, the scene turns to chaos. A barrage of enemy shells shatters the nighttime quiet, and you're in the midst of an all-out firefight. With German infantry and tanks storming across the open field, you'll need to think fast. From picking off the enemy one at a time with your sniper rifle, to mowing them down with a mounted machine-gun, to taking out Tiger tanks with a bazooka, use whatever it takes to stop the advance. Mission 2_4 What Comes Around ... Having survived the enemy assault, you and the other surviving troops advance on a town being used as a base of operations for an artillery company. Just a few hours earlier, the enemy attempted to cross a field and penetrate your lines. Now, you must cross that same field and enter the occupied town. It's your job to go building by building and room by room to rid the town of Nazis. Just when you think you have things under control, you'll have to deal with the early morning strafing runs of a Luftwaffe fighter. Not the best way to spend Christmas morning. Campaign 3: The Fall of Berlin Mission 3_1 A Traitor Amongst Us The German forces have been routed on all fronts. All that remains is Berlin, the still-pumping heart of the once-mighty German war machine. American and British forces have ceased their advance, conceding the capture of the city to the Russian Red Army. However, before the final assault, you've been ordered into the city to uncover vital documents, including lists of double agents, traitors and corrupt politicians. The Russians have begrudgingly agreed to give you a small window of time to retrieve what you can before they launch a full-scale assault on the city. Don't be long, though. The Red Army is not as interested in these documents as it is in crushing the last remaining Nazi stronghold and bringing the Third Reich to its knees. Mission 3_2 The Empire Falls After locating the documents, now comes the hard part: getting out of the city alive. It took longer than you would have liked to find the papers, and now the first wave of Allied bombers is roaring above the city. A Russian T34 tank stands ready to transport you out of the city. Use familiar landmarks to help guide you as you alternate between firing on enemy tanks with the main turret and picking off scrambling infantry with the tank's rear-mounted machine gun. At last, you reach the bridge crossing where your mission began. In the massive tank battle that ensues, you must destroy two bridges and fend off many tanks until the next Allied bomber wave arrives to finish off the Nazi forces once and for all. - o -
